<p><b><i>Answer:</i></B>
<p><b><i>Praise be to Allaah.</i></B>
<p><i>Shaykh 'Abd-Allaah Ibn 'Abd al-Rahmaan al-Jibreen answered this question
as follows:</i>
<p>"<i><font color="#000099">In principle women are not expected to fight
as men are, so they do not wield swords and spears, or ride horses, or
pursue the kuffaar; their role is to bring water to the thirsty and to
treat the sick and wounded among the Muslims.&nbsp;</font></i>
<p><i><font color="#000099">For this reason they do not get a share of
the booty as men do, but they may be given something as a gift.&nbsp;</font></i>
<p><i><font color="#000099">But if it is possible for them to fight with
modern weapons and play an effective role in battle, then they become like
men in this regard and will receive a similar share of [the] booty; Whatever
is given to the men is given to those women who are like them (or who played
a similar role to theirs), so if the men are given some reward or trophies
or compensation, the women who fight will be given the same.&nbsp;</font></i>
<p><b><i><font color="#000099">And Allaah knows best.</font></i></B>"</td>
